Pasadena City College

I am a caring person. In the last five years, my family member came down with Demetia and Alzheimer's, it woke me up about the health care system. In daily life it is about how can we care for each person. It is about the individual and making each day count with dignity. How can I help that person live a happy life? Listening to the family and being about to do my best to help that person.

"What is my purpose in my life?" I thought to myself..as a young girl. My answer came to my heart, "to help people." I live to serve God, and it is a daily practice that I strive to improve at on a daily basis. I am Spiritual and seek to help others in need. I work from a place of love and healing. I am an experienced caregiver with CPR and First-aid certification. Dedicated to providing quality care for all age ranges. My expertise is brightest in taking care of the elderly and teenagers, as well as children.

I became a caregiver because I love to help others . what I like about being a caregiver you meet new people you are able to make your clients/residents feel happy about themselves by being that person they can talk to and help them with there daily living because it has become hard for them. It brings me joy to see people happy and know that you are there to help. its more then just a job its a gift you are giving back to others this job is not for everyone but I'm Bless to say its for me. I am a 35 year old female who has been working as a home care Provider for 11years and I also worked for an Adult day program for a year 1/2 with adults with developmental disabilities. I'm a caring and respectful person I work hard I enjoy the outdoors cooking , going to church and spend time with my family.

Having been a detailed, patient and loving caregiver for my mother during the last four years of her life has opened my eyes to the needs of so many recipients like her. Just being there for someone who suffers from Dementia can mean so much to them and their caregivers. A personal achievement that I am proud of is the creation of a Personal Medical Log. This is a medical history record sheet that includes a listing of current illnesses, medications, their doses and purposes and the prescribing doctors. This sheet also states medications that cause allergic reactions and what those reactions are, immunization records and dates , prior surgeries, a listing of doctors, their telephone and fax numbers, their type of practice and family contacts with their names, telephone numbers and relationship to the patient. This PML is updated whenever any change is made in medications, doctors,etc. A copy is given at every appointment, or UC/ ER visits. Copies were given to my sisters in the event that they had to take our Mother to an appointment or were caught in an ER situation. This has been a great time and stress saver!

I became a caregiver because I enjoyed helping and taking care of people. I learn from the people I have taken care of and I love talking to them and helping them. I feel happy when I can put a smile on their face. One personal achievement I am proud of that I have given them hope and made them feel better about themselves and life. I am a happy person and enjoy being around the elderly and talking with them. I'm very honest and trustworthy. I would love to work here and I hope you give me the opportunity to show you how passionate I am about my work.

I believe what makes me an excellent caregiver is my sensitivity and respect for the challenges of the loss of independence, whether recent or long term. I am calm and quiet by nature, but I am a pretty good conversationalist. I decided to change careers to become a caregiver after caring for my own mother and I have found it to be a rewarding and profound experience. I have recently gone back to school to get a degree in Psychology/Gerontology and I am loving every minute of it even though I am old enough to be my professor's mother! I have just moved back to Los Angeles with my husband and daughter after living in Colorado and Texas for the past 9 years.

I have experience in taking care of the disabled and the elderly. I became a caregiver because I am a people person and hope to help make people happy. I liked helping some of the elderly get back together with their family members. I found that that is sometimes just what they needed. I am a mother of 4, all of my children are adults and I need something to do with my time. I chose care-giving because not only do the patients need companionship but so do I. I can do live in or out. I consider myself a dependable and reliable type of person, but I know seeing is believing. Thank you for considering me for the position.

I'm a great caregiver because I have compassion and a passion to assist those who can't do for themselves. My love for people, patience and understanding attitude is also a great plus. I've worked with blind adults, individuals with cerebral palsy as well as special education with young children. I recently moved to Texas from New York and would like to continue helping and building relationships with new people.

I began working as a caregiver during my senior year of high school, I have since enjoyed every single part of being a caregiver, I have grown and learned so much that I am greatfull to have had this be my first job ever. I really enjoy being there for the family and their loved ones. I lost my grandparents from both sides of my family and I truly understand and appreciate how important it is to care and love our family. I consider myself a great listener and a very patient person. What I enjoy the most about being a caregiver is making my client and their families happy and know that their loved ones are in good hands. Something I am proud of is my job, I am proud of being a caregiver and proud of all the differences I have made in peoples lives.

I am a compassionate, nurturing, and considerate person, sympathetic and caring is my nature. I enjoy a job were I can make life more comfortable, easy, and luxurious for others. I have always wanted to help people be and feel their best. The small things like playing their favorite music in the background, fresh flowers in their favorite sitting area, windows open to let in fresh air; plus a warm/soft blanket as needed, making sure there is always something to drink close by, and of course the house safe, clean, and tidy. So all their senses are engaged.

I am a healthy ,honest,trustworthy, reliable and experienced caregiver,Work hard and live joyfully;

I enjoy laughter and am generally light hearted. I enjoy helping others and getting to know each client so that we form a personal connection. I help prepare food bank bags and distribute once a month to the homeless in the Pasadena area that I live in. I believe we should all do our part to help the less fortunate starting in our own back yard/neighborhood.

I am a retired school Teacher. I decided to become a care giver after I took care for my mother before she passed! I used to stay there for more than 12 hours per day. Other patients thought I worked there because I would come at lunch time and sing dance and helped them and brought smiles to their lonely faces! At the moment I am training my morkie so I can volunteer at hospitals visiting sick children and anyone who may enjoy the company of a pet while they have to stay at the hospital. I remembered how happy my mother used to feel when they came by for a short visit. I know how hard is to find a caring responsible person to take care of your love one.i will be honored to provide the love and caring I did for my mother until she passed 1/31/15 ???? ! I need to feel the void I feel in my heart! Providing the best care will not only make me a great care giver, but it will help me know that I'm making a difference in someone's life! I miss my mother! This will be a win win situation ! My only advice have a free day with the care giver and your love one. It's very important to have that special connection before you make a decision! Good luck with your search ??

Hello, my name is Karla Martinez. I am 19 years old. I work in a house for people with disabilities. I'm a great caregiver because I'm a very kind hearted person. I love interacting with people and making them feel loved. I became a caregiver because I'm studying to be a sheriff deputy, therefore I wanted to learn about all types of personalities and how to work with the handicapped. My cousin has cerebral palsy and I've taken care of her since I was very young which was also one of the reasons why I like working with people with disabilities. I am more than proud to say my consumers love having me as their counselor. It is one of the greatest feelings in life. Knowing I make them feel at home and loved warms my heart. The smiles and excitement I receive from them as soon as I walk in through the door makes me love what I do. Helping out people has always been my goal. I'm more than positive that I'm on the right path.

I enjoy working with people on one on one and I am interested in working with older adults. I have experience working for clients in hospice and people in their own houses. Being able to assist client's maintain their independence as well as enable them perform activities of daily living.

I have been a caregiver all my life, starting when I ws 14 years old and rode my bike to a nursing facility to volunteer. I spent the rest of my career working with seniors and developmentally disabled adults. I got a CNA certicicate back in 1987, but have no clue if it hold any value these days. I am retired. I volunteer with hospice and my Therapy Dog at several homes, and love doing this. I'd like to gt out a bit more, and a little bit more money coudn't hurt. I am 53, single, Christian, honest, and have lost many family members. I was involved in their care, so I know what that is like. I have also been critically ill, and have myself been in hospice. I know how confusing the medical world can be. I learned so much from my work managing an 89 bed facility for 18 years and working with the doctors there…then becoming a patient myself. Give me a call. I might be able to help you out, I certainly will do my best, and if I feel I can't do something I am honest enough to let you know that as well. Best wishes in your search.

I choose to be a Caregiver to be, both, a blessing and to "give back" for what has been done for me, personally. I have been a Caregiver throughout my life, beginning with my sister (nine years older), with Special Needs, and confined to a wheel chair. I was also Caregiver to my mother when diagnosed with Cancer, until she passed away. I then began taking care of my sister, full time (now resides in a nursing care facility due to medical reasons). I have a sincere understanding of the concerns and responsibilities surrounding the care and safety of our loved ones. I have also volunteered for 20 years in Community Outreach Ministries, assisting individuals, families and the elderly. I am grateful to have the opportunity to help others, assisting them to continue to live as independently, as possible. It is not just a job, it is a great life.

Hi. My name is Bonnie and I've been a caregiver for 32 years. I started out doing caregiving within my family after my mom became ill and really enjoyed supporting my family this way. I learned a lot along the way and realized I would enjoy doing this for a living. I worked for an agency in my hometown and gained training and experience working with clients with various conditions. I also completed certificate training in Pharmacy Technician skills which is very helpful when dealing with medication and pharmacy issues. I like to listen to clients stories and experiences which I find very interesting. I am patient and understanding and like to provide safe, nurturing environments for people and its nice to offer peace of mind to family members who know I take good care of their loved ones. I am good at communicating with care coordinators about clients conditions and keep written notes as well as informing care managers of any pertinent information in a timely manner. I am flexible with scheduling and if an occasion arises where I need to spend extra time with a client I do my best to accommodate that need. One of my best accomplishments so far has been training for and completing the LA marathon with the Leukemia Society in 1999. Cancer runs in my family and when my sister was diagnosed with Leukemia in 1998 I wanted to find a way to help instead of feeling helpless. I was able to raise $2000 and awareness for the Leukemia society and do something positive for my family and myself as well. It was a wonderful experience and I am very glad to have been a part of something amazing. I love animals and have 2 rescue cats I adopted and love and spoil. I have experience pet sitting and giving medication to pets as well, both dogs and cats and have taken care of Hamsters and Guinea pigs.

I am a young female seeking a career in the Nursing field. I will specialize in senior care. I am responsible, patience, dedicate, and trusthworthy. I like to be care giver for the moment because I help took care of some family members and I know for family it can be hard to work and take care of a loving one. I enjoy given companion to elders because we can learn many things from them and at the same time help when they need.
